“She thinks the problem should be dealt with by states, and that if
several of the most populous and most tramp-ridden would deal with it

“Other subjects treated by this same scientific method of study of
actual cases, with all the preceding and following data that could
be gathered, and then discussed in their general implications, are
chronic beggars, seasonal and casual labor, interstate migration of
paupers, homeless old men, the crippled, the defective, and industrial
accidents. A number of appendices contain much statistical information
and some articles on lodging houses. The book is published under the
auspices of the Russell Sage Foundation.”
